How many cows are in the desert? Molecular phylogeny and species delimitation of the genus Gyriosomus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Pimeliinae) from the Atacama Desert

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The newly systematic rearrangement of Gyriosomus recognizes 9 clades, validates 21 taxonomical species and suggests 12 synonyms and 12 species candidates. Three taxonomical species were not evaluated. Polymorphisms, convergences and crypsis have been detected, and therefore morphology‐based taxonomy should be approached with caution. Ecological drivers

Complementary genomic and morphological data elucidate the phylogeny of obscure darkling beetles (Blaptinae: Platynotini: Eurynotina)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
First comprehensive phylogenomic study of subtribe Eurynotina using a combined dataset of 499 nuclear loci, 12 mitochondrial loci and 91 morphological characters covering all genera and species groups is presented. Eurynotina is monophyletic and genera within are redefined based on reassessment of old characters, generation of new characters, and ...

BASIC LAWS OF DISTRIBUTION AND GENESIS OF PSAMMOPHILOUS COLEOPTERA OF PONTO-CASPIAN REGION IN THE CASE OF TENEBRIONIDAE AND SCARABAEOIDEA (INSECTA: COLEOPTERA)

Юг России: экология, развитие, 2014
The paper deal with migration ways of psammophilous Tenebrionidae and Scarabaeoidea of Ponto-Caspian region since the Pliocene. Reconstruction of genesis of the fauna is made after analyses of contemporary distribution.

Advice on animal and public health risks of insects reared on former foodstuffs as raw material for animal feed

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In the coming decades, there is expected to be a sharply increased demand for dietary proteins for humans and animals. As a result, there is an increasing focus on reared insects as a new source of protein. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), the use of food chain residual flows such as former foodstuffs as

The impact of some inorganic substances on change in body mass of Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) larvae in a laboratory experiment

Folia Oecologica, 2018
Addition of low concentrations of metal ions to the diet of saprophagous insects can impact on their metabolism over a short period of time, causing an increase or decrease in their body mass.

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

Effects of Predator Species and Size on Prey Escape Success Through the Digestive Tract

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Adults of the aquatic beetle Regimbartia attenuata can survive passage through the digestive tracts of six predator (frog) species, including a non‐native bullfrog. Their active movement through the gut likely facilitates their escape through the cloaca, irrespective of predator species or size.

Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.
